Start to Finish New Accessory Mesh for Beginners I-V

I didn't see your lastest post with the links, sorry

But now I've tried this tutorial, but as I'm not doing earrings, it seems to me that I shouldn't do the steps from number 7-31 (The very last), when I'm not doing earrings, but hair...

So I have 3 question!

Questions:

My question number 1) if I follow this tutorial what do I do after step 6???

What I have been doing so far, was to follow this tutorial video from Youtube, you probably know it already

Video tutorial in 3 parts:

1)

2)

3)

It's a good tutorial, but as it is not focused on Sims 4 hair meshes, he does not:


1) Talk about importing a "Female Hair Mesh Model" from the "Sims 4 Studio" - which for me shouldn't be a problem anymore, since I believe I have learned that part now.. I "think.."


My question number 2)
2) But more important, he does not talk about - and which is MY problem, how I, after I have made my hair mesh in Blender, CORRECTLY save my finished hair mesh in Blender, so it can be opened up in the "Sims 4 Studio" later.

My question/s number 3)
- I believe it is something about the LOD's, the texture and perhaps the GEOM's that I'm not getting or just doing wrong?
And perhaps also the steps 5 and 6 in this tutorial, the "Rig", and the "eyes"-thing.. But then again the steps 5 & 6, is about making earrings/accessory's and not hair meshes - so maybe it's not important after all? 


My Question number 4)
3) And the final thing he dosen't mention is, when the finished hair mesh, is in the "Sims 4 Studio", how do you handle the file correctly, so it can be saved correctly as a package file, and put into the game and played without any errors..



I hope you will answer, and if so could you answer the questions in points, like I wrote 1, 2, 3 - because that would make it easier to understand for me

And thanks for your help so far, it is appreciated

Okay I just need to know, after I have done your tutorial, and I want to go on to make my own hair mesh, where do I find a tutorial for that - because I would still need a hair tutorial, right?

Okay thanks, I have made some earings now - they are horrible But I went throught your toturial as you said. It was as you said an okay lerning process, where I made 2 "greater" mistakes, which probably caused the end result to become so terrible..

But my mistakes, was at:

1) Part II "Marking the Seams that will Allow the Mesh to be Unwrapped"
- Steps 18-21 - For some reason I couldn't select the right corners..

2) Part III "Unwrpping the Mesh & Mapping"
- Step 11 - I couldn't select the boxes inside the ring

And therefore my final result at step 16 (still in part III) was terrible, I didn't get the same boxes as you did, it was a mess of small edges, deformed boxes, and a couple of big rings - which didn't have all their verticies - a total mess.. But I went through the rest and I'll try to go from one of my savings I made, and try again.

But about the hair again, your Blenderella tutorial, I have 3 questions:

1) When you made your only hair, where did you get the model, like the one we see in the tutorial. Is it just a random photo of they internet, or? Because I assume you didn't use a model from the Sims 4 Studio - like you did in you earing tutorial?


2) And where ever you got your model from, how did you import it into Blender?


3) And in Blender, what steps did you make to save it and begin with it in Blender?

This tutorial shows how to make a peace earring and that does not look like a peace earring. My suggestion is following the tutorial as written first before trying to make some other project.

It's fine like this. Small differences in how a mesh is created will cause Blender to make differences in the map but, from looking at your picture above, the differences are of no consequence.

I thought that I followed the steps perfectly but my earrings have really bad transparency. What did I do wrong?

Sorry, been busy and didn't see that you responded. Here is the package.
